HIGH GROUND BEST FOR
PASTURE SHADE TREES
If a pasture is to include shade for
the animals, it is better as a rule to
have the trees on high ground than
on low. The border of a stream is
likely 'm be the worst place for shade
trees, according to A. T. Senvple of
the SoilConservation Service. Semple
suggests two good reasons for this
preference—erosion control and con-
servation of fertility.
In shade the grass grows thin and
animals standing under the trees
I crop the growth close, cut the sod,
and lossen the soil. This favors ero-
sion, and many a gully starting from
a trampled area on low ground has
run back into a good pasture area
above the shade. If the shade trees
are near the top of a knoll, Semple
| points out, there is less danger that,
water running down fromabove will
concentrate and cause serious wash-'
ing. If some soil is loosened and
wa}ies down the hill, the grass on
! the opan slope is likely to catch and
hold. it.
The gain in fertility is also worth
considering. Water flowing away
from shade on high ground has an c
opportunity to carry and distribut
: the fertility from the manure con
centrated under the trees. If th>
shade is near the low point of the
pasture or along a drainage way.
! most of the manure value escapes
and is lost.
Trees help prevent washing along
; streams, but if animals are allowec
to herd near the borders they are
likely to break down the banks, loos-
en soil, and kill other vegetation si
that the soil wastes will counterbal-
ance the soil saved by the tree roots
It is better, says Semple, to fence off
such trees and to allow the animals
to reach the stream only at particu-
larly favorable spots where the
banks can be protected.
FARM ANIMALS INJURE,
WILDLIFE SAVES, SOIL
One great difference between do-
mestic and wild birds and animals is
the effect they have on the land, par-
ticularly on soil erosion. It is #om-
mon for farmers to pasture fields al-
ready injured by erosion—gullied
land too rough for machine tillage or
patches where running water has
taken most of the topsoil.
On such land, pasturage is likely
to be scanty. If cattle, sheep*, or hogs
are turned in they usually devour or
trample such vegatation as may be
left, says Dr. Ira N. Gabrielson of
Bureau of Biological Survey. This in-
creases the erosion damage.
Wildlife, in contrast, lives in and
with the natural vegetation that de-
velops in these rough areas not suit-
able for cropping. Rarely do crea-
tures of the wild contribute to ero-
sion. Rather, they allow vegataion to
develop and hold the soil. Farmers
can help, too, says Doctor Gabriel-
son, by seeding or planting quick-
growing plants and trees that are
soil binders and also provide cover
and food for game. Catering slight-
ly to the feeding, wintering, and
nesting habits of the game will at-
tract birds and animals and increase
the game crop which sportsmen will
be glad to harvest—and pay for the
privilege.
Domestic animals are likely to
further destroy land that has been
injured by cultivation. The same land
devoted to wildlife will be preserved
and even improved. This contrast
often points out the difference be-
tween good management and poor
management of the rougher and less
fertile parts of a farm.
HORSES AND MULES DOWN
IN NUMBER AND IN VALUE
The number of horses, including
colts, on farms January 1, 1938, is
estimated by the Bureau of Agricul-
tural Economics at 11,163,000 head,
a reduction of 282,000 head, or 2.5
no>- cent, from a year earlier. The re-
duction during 1937 was larger than
cjtn-r 1936.
Although the number of colts rais-
ed in 1937 was larger than in 1936,
death losses of horses were unusual-
ly large in a number of States. The
average value per head January 1,
1938, was $90.83 compared with
$99.16 a year earlier and the total
Value of $1,013,960,000 was $121,,-
>00,000 smaller.
The number o'f mules on farms
January 1, 1938, was 4,477,000 head,
a reduction of 94,000 head, or 2.1 per
^ent. from a year earlier. The value
oer head of $122.43 was $7.50 lower
han a year earlier and the total val-
ue of $593,898,000 was about $46,-
)00,000 smaller.

They delivered their load and returned down another ladder at

Two of them approximated the same amount, but the third man
fell far short. This third man was also the most weary of the trio.

"Well," said Mike, "it was too hard work filling up the hod with
